Mount Sinabung spews hot lava and volcanic ash as it is seen from Karo, North Sumatra, Indonesia, . Thousands of people have been sheltering for months in mosques, churches and government buildings just out of reach of the past months' eruptions of Indonesia's Mount Sinabung. The 2,460-metre volcano had been dormant for 400 years before it erupted in August 2010, forcing more than 30,000 to flee their homes.
